Donovan Mitchell peaking at the right time + Cavs' rotation questions heading in to the postseason: Wine and Gold Talk Podcast Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

The Cavs have learned some valuable lessons over the last week -- at least, that's the hope after their tough March 31st loss to the New York Knicks, their upcoming first-round playoff opponent, and having to give their all in a close win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday.

Chris Fedor and Ashley Bastock discuss what lessons they think will be valuable as the Cavs prepare for their final regular season game on Sunday against Charlotte and as Cleveland gets ready for its first-round playoff series against New York.

And then there's Donovan Mitchell's production. The All-Star has had 40-point games in each of his last four outings. He's also going dark on social media. Is he peaking at just the right time for Cleveland to make a postseason run?

Finally, Chris and Ashley discuss the biggest Cavs' rotation questions heading into the postseason, including Isaac Okoro's knee injury, and what the roles of Danny Green and Ricky Rubio may look like.

The Cavs clinch a playoff berth, but can they rise in the Eastern Conference standings? Wine and Gold Talk Podcast Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

Chris Fedor and Ashley Bastock discuss the Cavs clinching a spot in the postseason for the first time without LeBron James on the roster in 25 years.

The two also discuss what they were doing in 1998 the last time Cleveland accomplished the feat.

On a macro level, the big discussion centers around the Cavs rebuild as a whole, and how not all rebuilds work out this way this quickly.

And of course, there's the ever-important question, how important has coach J.B. Bickerstaff been to this team's turnaround, and what makes him the right guy to coach this group?

Finally, Ashley and Chris close out by discussing the Cavs' favorable schedule the final six games of the season, and as Chris prepares to head to Atlanta, the two discuss the "magical" cups available in the Hawks' press room this season.

Will J.B. Bickerstaff, Kevin Stefanski or Terry Francona win a title first in Cleveland? Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

It’s not far fetched to believe that any one of the three major sports teams in Cleveland will play for a championship in the next 500 or so days.

Both the Browns and Cavaliers have made all-in moves, declaring themselves ready to win now. The Guardians, meanwhile, surprised many with their playoff run last year and have an exciting young core of players with, perhaps, the best manager the franchise has ever had.

We try to answer the question on this podcast: Which coach or manager will win a championship first in Cleveland?

We start by talking to our experts who cover them.

Chris Fedor tells us about J.B. Bickerstaff.

Paul Hoynes gives us the lowdown on Terry Francona.

Mary Kay Cabot tells us everything we need to know about Kevin Stefanski.

Then, Doug Lesmerises, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe try to answer the question: Which manager will win a championship first?
